Tibetan Jiu Chess Game Algorithm based on Expert Knowledge

Abstract

Tibetan Jiu Chess is a unique chess game with complex rules, which is suitable to be used as the object of computer games. The expert knowledge database is established through the field investigation in Lhasa, Tibet. Tibetan Jiu Chess game algorithm based on expert knowledge is proposed in this paper. The algorithm is generally divided into formation recognition module, game strategy module in layout stage and game strategy module in Battle Stage. Especially for the most important battle stage, the chess power of the algorithm has been greatly improved by combining the distilled expert knowledge and better strategies. The experiments were made between the human players and the proposed algorithm in the "Minshan Cup" Tibetan chess National Open held in Lhasa City, Tibet Province in 2021. The results show that the designed algorithm based on expert knowledge is with a higher winning rate than a one-duan grading human chess player.
